Espaços metamorfoseados em Becos da Memória: como o processo de erradicação da favela atua sobre os sujeitos da narrativa

Abstract

This research studies the category of space and its metamorphoses. In the survey, we seek to uncover how the mutations of the spaces that are presented and described in the narrative act on the subject-characters. To delimit our analysis, we selected as corpus the book Becos da Memória, by ConceiçãoEvaristo (2006). The narrative tell us about the process of eradicating a favela, whose narrator-character brings through the alleys of her memory some life experiences and childhood ones, as well as from his peers. In this sense, we think about the concept escrevivência , coined by the author, figuring the black female feather. As support, we are based on the words of Conceição Evaristo in an interview given to Eurídice Figueiredo (2013), published in Mulheres ao espelho: autobiografia, ficção, autoficção, and in Conceição Evaristo by Conceição Evaristo (2009), a lecture given in the I Colóquio de Escritoras Mineiras; Gayatri Spivak (2010), in Can the subaltern speak?; Gustavo Bernardo (2017), in the unpublished essay Metamorfoses"; Ozíris Borges Filho (2007), in the book Espaço e Literatura: introdução à topoanálise; Stuart Hall (2006), in The cultural identity in postmodernity; Walter Benjamin (1987), in "The Narrator", among several other voices that potentiate what we investigate throughout the text.
